Ivan Deyra biography
Ivan Deyra is a French professional who grew up watching World Series of Poker broadcasts. He spent about three and a half years on Team Winamax, alongside players such as Adrian Mateos, Joao Vieira and Davidi Kitai.
In July 2019, five years after his first recorded live cash, he won the $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em event at the WSOP, a field of 671 entries, for $380,090. It was the third bracelet won by a French player that summer and pushed his live earnings past $1 million.
In January 2021 Winamax banned Deyra for multi-accounting after he played a €2,000 Super High Roller on his father's account after busting on his own; the €83,300 he won was redistributed to the affected players and his sponsorship was ended. Deyra admitted the breach, called the punishment "heavy" but "logical and understandable" and apologised to the poker community. He has about $1.4 million in live tournament earnings.
